Attached please find the official Notice of our Annual General Meeting that will be held at Mari-Tech 2017 in Montreal on April 21st.

Because of the technical difficulties in sending the last edition of the Marine Engineering Digest, many of you may be unaware that nominations were open for the CIMarE Medal of Excellence. Therefore, the deadline for receiving these nominations has been extended to March 31st, 2017. The Medal is given to recognize an individual’s significant contribution to marine engineering in Canada and is not restricted to members of the Institute. The nomination procedure is simple and details can be found on the home page of our website: http://www.cimare.ca. The Medal will be presented at Mari-Tech in April.

Also about Mari-Tech: a reminder that because we do not charge HST on our membership dues, we are no longer able to offer a significant reduction in registration rates at Mari-Tech. The early bird rate is the only discounted rate we can offer and it is only available until March 24th so please register now.
